The World Theatre Day was created in 1961 by the
International
Theatre Institute (ITI). It is celebrated annually on the 27th March
by ITI Centres and the international theatre community. Various national
and international theatre events are organized to mark this occasion. One
of the most important of these is the circulation of the World Theatre
Day International Message traditionally written by a theatre personality
of world stature. The World Theatre Day International Message for the year
2002 has been written by dramatist, storyteller, translator and filmmaker
Tankred Dorst.
In Mallorca, this day, the award Premi Teatre Principal 2002 organised
by the
Fundació Teatre
Principal de Palma will be given. The event will be held at 8.30 p.m.
in the Teatre Lloseta. More information:
